LOL!!!!!!!!!
By the way folks I’m glad we have a new term “Grooveridering/ed, to groove rider a dev”.
When a developer displays a level of engagement you’re not used to so you think they must be the holy grail and you mercilessly unload every app idea you’ve ever had on them in excitement.
@elf_audio Can confirm as someone else has said -getting erratic Metronome behaviour The first count the high pitch beep drifts out of time sometimes what should be that 1st beep on the first beat is sounding on the second beat . Also samples are sometimes not recording. I noticed this when Ive added patterns at the end of other patterns.
@hightunnels @elf_audio yes me too
@elf_audio there is a dreaded bug for sure Happens when I merge Patterns then try to play samples I have chopped . Samples will not record and the metronome goes weird. I merged a 6Bar with a 2bar to make 8bars then thought it might be because the 6bar was originally an 8bar which I changed to 6bars to merge with the 2bars to make 8bars...damn I said Bars a lot there. Sounds like a rapper...then tried more even bars 2bars merged with 2bars and same issue
@hightunnels @stormbeats I really need to look into this - a few people have reported similar - I’m away til Monday but will start doing some serious tests on the sequencing engine as it really seems to be struggling a bit at 4 bars and beyond
@elf_audio Thanks! Meantime will challenge myself to do some metronome-free work......
@elf_audio cheers no worries
Looking back through this thread trying to see if anyone’s asked for looping/latching of sample pads? Or if it was mentioned of being in the works for a future update?
If not I’m asking! 😬
@hightunnels I’m thinking about it!
Yeah I’d love this
How do you record audio (not resample) to a pad while the sequence is playing?They are on 2 different pages.
Just swap the page while the sequence is playing?!
Thanks!
Yes i was trying to record onto a sample that had audio on it(silent with a black line, i must have pressed it to select it and it must have recorded some audio while i was swapping pages).
@hightunnels when you say pad latching do you mean choke groups or layering playing several sounds from one pad?
Was actually just thinking setting a pad to loop without having to record to a sequence- I think you can do that on a 404? (Never actually played one!)
Curious, can Koala export loops with loop points and metadata so that BeatHawk will see the audio files as sliced loops?
@hightunnels i had a 404 briefly From what I recall yes you can do pad loop. Thats a good idea. Still some bugs in Koala but the dev is talented to implement I reckon
Oh yeah most definitely
I think the kids call that “the shocker” 🤪
@elf_audio So I’m running into major issues...
I start Koala, and it immediately acts like it’s in recording mode, then randomly drops out of recording mode, but screen stays red and I can’t touch any pads, and then randomly records a pad, etc... it’s like it’s possesed. I’m on Air2, latest os... happens with just ipad as well as when I’m connected to focus right 2i2...
Something seems to have gone haywire. No issues with other apps, etc.
Ideas?
Great to hear it's going to support stereo recording, would love to use it with my stereo microphone on the go
When about is "soon" going to be?
I have to say after having sat on this app for a while I got to use for a good session at the weekend. Wow Wow and Wow absolutely brilliant workflow and to be able to work on the fly dipping in and out of record whilst constantly playing is wonderful.
@stormbeats @hightunnels
Yep...
The 404 has the option to hold the pad or you can preset it like this:
__GATE Button
This button switches between gate playback (whereby the
sample plays only while you hold down the pad) and trigger
playback (sample alternately begins playing or stops with
each press of the pad). Gate playback is selected when the
button is lit, and trigger playback is selected when the button
is dark. (p. 29)
LOOP Button
This button switches between loop playback (whereby the
sample plays repeatedly when you press the pad) and oneshot playback (the sample plays only once). Loop playback is selected when the button is lit, and one-shot play__
@MonkeyDrummer its “possesed” by a Koala :-) i know what you mean though I had that happen a few times not many. The dev said he thinks the app may have a sequencer issue if patterns are more than 4bars and is looking into it.
@elf_audio Sample TRIM button would help to reduce project file size if possible and an UNDO. 1 bar record count in too.
In relation to the sequencing issues and metronome weirdness I done some tests and as you mentioned it seems sequences after 4 bars run into issues when recording more notes to sequences the notes do note always record .The merge pattern extend seems ok I extended a 1bar to 16bars and was ok. So I think its a Record issue any sequence beyond 4bars.
Also on some loop cycles the overall app volume increases.
Lol
Great work on this app so far and awesome that it seems to be gaining popularity! Great to see the dev chilling with us on audiobus.
I've owned ever sp sampler ever made and the po instruments.. Gotta say this is the closest I've ever seen an app come to taking some of the best features from all those and combine em into one place...
Just remember the sp404 has no land scape mode either haha but yes all kidding aside it's my main request as my iPad rests in a stand with all its holes filled with cords... Hard to flip her sideways 😄 I know itll be challenging to do but make it an iap for your work !
Cool !
